Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Sergeant Richard Sharpe does a very good turn for The Duke of Wellington, saving the life of "Old Nosey" and killing a few enemy soldiers in the process. As thanks, Wellington does Sharpe a very bad turn by giving him a Field Promotion, making him an officer in the King's Army. Being a gutter-born bastard child, Sharpe naturally does not play well with the other officers, rich gentlemen who bought their commissions and resent an upstart from "the ranks" being among their number. However, his experience in the ranks, his rough nature and being a damn good fighter give Sharpe an advantage when it comes to commanding soldiers. Sharpe leads from the front with his Baker rifle and massive Heavy Cavalry sword, and never far from Sharpe's side is his longtime friend Sgt. Patrick Harper and his unit of elite riflemen, the "Chosen Men". When he's not fighting in some great bloody battle, Sharpe and his companions are sent on missions vital to the war effort by either Wellington himself or his intelligence officer. Despite being poor and lacking "gentlemanly conduct", Sharpe achieves further promotions over the course of his career based solely on merit, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel by the Battle of Waterloo. |
